It has just stopped raining. The brook flowing into the lake is full and there is still some half-melted snow from last winter on the ground.‎ The reason the water is so clear and everything is so quiet and still, is that most of the plant ‎ and animal life in and around the lake is died. There are no birds because all the fish and insects, which the birds need for food, have disappeared. Many trees in the forest are losing their leaves and bark, and are sick and dying. Others were blown down by the high winds of last winter. A farmer is working in a field planting something, but unless he plants a stronger kind of seed this year, the crop will be between 25 to 40 percent lower than a few years ago. The stones of the old church tower are turning to power and unless the tower is repaired soon, it will fall down. ‎ The smoke coming out of factories and poisonous gases from cars and trucks causes all the death and destruction in this place. And yet this silent lake is hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest factory and highways.‎ ‎52. What time of the year do you think it is? ________ A. Spring     B. Summer    C. Autumn     D.
